The basic ingredients used to make paints are binder, solvent, pigment and additives. Solvents are volatile liquid, which is used to obtain proper viscosity and flow of the paint. Many paints many not have solvent. The solvent after usage of paint evaporates to leave a solid dry film on the surface. Binders are known as one of the most vital and necessary paint component. Different types of binder are natural resin, drying oil and synthetic resin. Pigments are granular solids, which provides paint its most vital properties of color and opacity. Additives are components that are used in small amount to offer additional features to the paint. Common types of additives are stabilizers, drying and curing agent, anti-mold agent, anti-settling agent and others. The global paints and coatings market was worth US$ 160.5 Bn in 2017 and estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2019 to 2024, to reach US$ 234.8 Bn by 2024.
